An announcement in this regard was made by finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Saturday.

The Maharashtra government would take steps to translate them as well," the press communique issued by the state government on Sunday quoted Mungantiwar as saying in Gujarat's Sewagram.

The minster further said, "We have taken a decision of translating manuscripts of Gandhiji in Marathi so that his thoughts reach every corner of Maharashtra. Gandhiji is the most inspiring icon for our country. I was totally mesmerised after experiencing his life today at Sabarmati Ashram. Will work with them closely to make Sewagram a world class tourist destination," Mungantiwar tweeted later in the day. 

The minister also met the Ahmedabad civic authorities to understand the Sabarmati river cleaning and beautification project, with an aim to help the Namami Chandrabhaga project in Maharashtra. The state had earlier announced to clean and beautify the Chandrabhaga river of Pandharpur. 

Mungantiwar also met the finance minister of Gujarat, Saurabh Patel, and invited him to visit the state's Tadoba Tiger Reserve.
